SQL - Table Changes and Views

One of the things that I still get hung up on is the need to update table views when I add or delete columns. The most common thing that happens is a "field not found" type of error. Then yesterday I was working in SharePoint designer and received an error that said "View or function 'XXX.dbo.vwXXX' has more column names specified than columns defined". Doing an ALTER view is SQL manager solved the problem.
